Got CUCV axles

[dremu]

Nice summary on the parking brakes, Dremu.

I have been wondering why those that want a parking brake haven't looked to the factory late model Chevy parts. My 2003 has a 14 bolt with factory disc brakes & a parking brake under tha hat(I am guessing since I have only had it a month or 2 so I have not had it apart). Surely it would be fairly easy to get those modify those parts to fit an older 14 bolt, & I would think that they are all parts that are still available at any Chevy Dealer. I guess the cost would be the real issue, but it would have to be comparable to TSM. I remember there stuff being over the top expensive.

Thanks. I, uhh, have been through this.

I seem to recall that the "newer" 14 bolts are different from "older" (though I don't know when is "new" and when is "old"). The key is whether the mounting flange at the axle end is in the right place and of the right size.

You'd also have to do mostly dealer parts as you'd not often find such trucks in the junkyard. (But yeah, the dealer wouldn't be any pricier than TSM. They ARE proud of their stuff.)
